It’s as easy as 1-2-3
1. Register online today – visit CSIRO.au/WildWatch to find out more and we will email you everything you need to get involved.
2. Head outside – during National Science Week your backyard, local park or reserve, bushwalk, beach or schoolyard becomes your science lab.
3. Snap a photo of any interesting plants or animals you see and upload it to our national biodiversity database.
By observing and recording local flora and fauna, you contribute valuable data directly to Australian researchers via the Atlas of Living Australia—our national biodiversity database, hosted by CSIRO. Each week, Australian observations uploaded to the iNaturalist app are integrated into the Atlas of Living Australia.
During CSIRO Wild Watch, scientists at our National Research Collections Australia team want you to look out for shark and ray eggs, the yellow/orange lichen, snails, wattle and more! Help researchers track their presence and movement—crucial information for conservation and scientific discovery.
